Skillful attention to lived experience, willingness to face fear, and awareness of spaciousness from which everything arises result in a dynamic and vital life experience. See my book "Being Prayer" for explanation of these practices being appropriate for any tradition, particularly Christianity.

How many people live a boring and sterile life in this world,loveless, looking for love to fill them but never finding it.

Or suffering the bitterness of disappointed love.Or the anquish of impossible, lost, or forbidden love,and not finding fulfillment.

Or the sadness of love returned that does not satisfy.

These people could be overwhelmed with loveand their limitless capacity for love, tenderness, and self-surrendercould be filled, if they would only turn inwardsto the inexaustable love that lives and breathes within them.
